Pim: And once again that relies solely on the presumption that we know
what = life forms are possible under what conditions. COuld you
explain how = this was determined ?

Pim: Or is the argument limited to our form of life ?

Obviously, since the argument is for Intelligent Design, the Intelligent Designer
exists as a form of life. Ross is dealing with science, not science fiction when he
speaks of constants. These are measurable, not speculative -- a known carbon-based
life, not a speculative silicon-based life. It seems that if you are going to appeal
that others recognize other possible forms of life might exist, then life based upon
pure spirit should be included. Since God needs no physical constants for his
existence, you should consider the possibility of His existence.
